Part two of our discussion with Jordan Snook, Nurse Manager, and Megan Guge, Nurse Supervisor. We're discussing mental health from a nursing perspective and how that differs from outpatient settings. Megan and Jordan provide a wealth of knowledge about the intersectionality of mental health and nursing care. We take a very big turn and share more about our sports backgrounds and how that has a direct correlation to mental health. Plus, more Dr. Pepper.

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!
